"The White-Haired Girl", the modern Chinese originated from the folk legend story of the white-haired fairy in the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei border area, the protagonist Xi'er was called the "white-haired girl" because she was persecuted by the old society and became a little white-headed, and then the opera "White-Haired Girl" was created by the Yan'an Lu Xun Art Institute.

Of course, it's not about art discussions, but about Lu Ren's own artistic accomplishments...... To be honest, it's also that virtue. The main purpose of making "The White-Haired Girl" out is to make people understand what class oppression is through these things.

It can only be said here that after Lu Ren gets to a certain position, he will be more utilitarian in many cases. In fact, Lu Ren's original purpose of wanting to make "The White-Haired Girl" out was to fight against the dominance of the scholar class that had become the mainstream of society in the Three Kingdoms era at the end of the Han Dynasty. To put it bluntly, Lu Ren just wanted to improve the people's ideological consciousness on certain things, so that at least the idea of the supremacy of the scholar class should not spread in his own territory. As for the territory of Cao, Liu and Sun's three families...... Hehe, I'm afraid that if you think about it with your toes, you will think that most of such a play will be banned from Cao Liusun.

However, Lu Ren dares to engage in his own territory, and there are corresponding conditions. I have said more than once before that the composition of the residents in Lu Ren's territory is basically the displaced class who fled during the war, and there are no children of the scholar family to speak of. Even if there were Lu, Mi, Zhen, and some of the Xun clans brought by Xun Yu when he came over, but under Lu Ren's series of measures, these clans were difficult to form the traditional scholar clan in the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Han Dynasty. And here, don't forget that Lu Renna has moved out of the imperial examination system, and before those clans in his own territory may become traditional scholars, he has a stab at the root of his monopoly of knowledge and career.

On the other hand, Lu Ren has been deliberately building himself a middle class that will become the backbone of the middle class, and he has been quite successful over the years. The reason why the traditional scholars were able to become powerful also had a lot to do with the fact that they used all kinds of foolish methods to control the people at the bottom, but the middle class with knowledge and ability, and also supported by Lu Ren in all aspects, was not something that the scholar class could control.

So what does this have to do with Lu Ren's "The White-Haired Girl"? In fact, to put it bluntly, Lu Ren is playing "Remembering the Bitter and Sweet". Most of the people in Lu Ren's territory were originally refugees, but how many of them had not been oppressed by those classes? Although it has been more than 20 years since the establishment of Yizhou, and it has been more than ten years since it was officially established and incorporated into the territory of the Han Dynasty, the earliest older immigrants are now old, but there are not a few who are in the prime of life at this time. Besides, when those old people see such a repertoire and recall the hard days of the beginning, won't they be heartbroken to warn their juniors?

Okay, these are the situations in Lu Ren's territory, of course, Lu Ren's version of "The White-Haired Girl" staged must also be adapted accordingly, otherwise some modern things in the repertoire will also be pulled out and will not cause trouble? And now "The White-Haired Girl" is being staged here in Ceylon...... It's not Lu Ren's Huaxia version. To be precise, its cultural and historical background is the third version. To put it another way to understand it, it is the version of the A-three surname system.

The caste system that has been handed down from ancient times is widely criticized by the world in modern society. And the fate of those lower castes under the caste system ...... Forget it, don't say more about this. In short, some aspects aside, the class oppression of the lower castes on Ah San's side is very serious, and in the era in which Lu Ren is currently living, it is needless to say that his fate is miserable.

To be honest, Lu Ren originally didn't want to move Ah San, or as long as Ah San didn't mess with Lu Ren and maintained a relatively good diplomatic relationship with Lu Ren, Lu Ren didn't want to be serious with them. This is by no means that Lu Ren is afraid of Ah San, in fact, Lu Ren will be afraid of Ah San? The reason why I didn't want to move Ah San, from a strategic level, was because I wanted not to make more enemies when fighting with Guishan and Anxi; And from an economic point of view, Lu Ren wants to get labor from Ah San.

To put it bluntly, the lower castes on Ah San's side in this era are slaves, and Lu Ren can easily obtain a large amount of labor by buying slaves, and all he needs to pay is money. Of course, it is possible to plunder through war, but why go on an expedition if it is not necessary, and it will also cause resistance and hostility on the other side? Just spend a few dollars to buy it, and the matter of recruiting slaves is solved by the higher castes of Ah San, and Lu Ren is still happy.

However, the situation is different now, Ah San's actions provoked Lu Ren to have to do something to Ah San, and Lu Ren had to face a big and powerful country like Guishan and Anxi, and it was impossible to put too many limited troops on hand to the battlefield on Ah San's side. Then at this time, Lu Ren will have to think of some other way to destroy the city-state of Asan, and let the oppressed lower castes in the city-state of Asan have some ideological consciousness and start to rebel against the higher castes...... Huh!

Here Lu Ren once had a sentence in his heart: "You have a caste system there, but we in Huaxia have a 'public general has no seed', if these two collide together, what will be the result?" ”

To be honest, whether it can be done or not Lu Ren himself is not clear in his own heart. However, Lu Ren believes in human nature, and out of human considerations, who wants to be enslaved by others in life? The key depends on whether the enslaved people have enough ideological consciousness. This is also the reason why Lu Ren will make a caste system version of "The White-Haired Girl" and then send someone to Ceylon to stage it.

Speaking of the adaptation of the caste system version of "The White-Haired Girl", Lu Ren really has the conditions in this regard. As mentioned earlier, Lu Ren bought a large number of low-caste slaves from the Asan city-state at that time to come back as laborers, and among so many laborers, there will always be some people who are smart and studious and have corresponding talents. And since they are from the lower castes on Ah San's side, to understand what kind of life the lower castes live, it will be more in line with the background of the times on Ah San's side to adapt them, and there is no problem at all in terms of language.

Speaking of which, Lu Ren is also a little unbeliever. Although the caste system on Ah San's side has been centuries old by this time, and it has some deep-rooted meanings, there are really not many people who dare to resist? And as long as such a person appears, Lu Ren will support him in a timely manner, so how can he say that he can also make some ups and downs in Ah San's city-state? And as long as there is something wrong with Ah San's city-state, won't Lu Ren's soldiers and horses get twice the result with half the effort?

The caste system version of "The White-Haired Girl" that is now being staged in Ceylon, to be honest, is just trying the water in the occupied area of Ceylon first, and Lu Ren has to make corresponding adjustments depending on the reaction, after all, the cultural system of Ceylon and Ah San at that time has the same roots, and the reaction of the people of Ceylon can be used as Lu Ren's reference material.

Considering the language problem, the song and dance troupe sent by Lu Ren is actually divided into two parts, namely the Chinese department and the Arabic trilingual department, and after the performance was completed, the news Lu Ren received also surprised Lu Ren, because both the Chinese and the Arabic trilingual ones caused a strong response. And the most direct result is actually ...... The caste system version of "Huang Shiren" didn't even dare to go out after the performance was completed, for fear that he would be beaten to death as soon as he went on the street. In fact, Lu Ren really knew that when the original and genuine "The White-Haired Girl" in that time and space was staged, the actor who played Huang Shiren was really beaten, and he was beaten by the people who were angry, and it is said that he almost killed him.

Anyway, Lu Ren was a lot more relieved to receive such news, at least his speculation about human nature was not wrong. And what to do next:

"Call back Mr. Huang...... Well, plus Zhou Gongjin and Lord Sun, let them ensure the coastal defense line on the side of Ceylon, and at the same time, if they have a little free time, they will go to the coastal area of the Asan city-state to catch some local people and come back, send them to Ceylon to eat and drink a few meals, and then let them take a good look at the play and put them back. Don't ask why, just do what I say. ”

After issuing this order, Lu Ren put his eyes back on the map again, and his fingers tapped lightly in the Guishan area, and he thought in his heart: "Should I make another Guishan version of "The White-Haired Girl"?" I have to admit that the influence of this kind of thing on the people is really not ordinary...... Salute to the old-timers of the revolution! ”

Back to Ceylon.

Although the navy brought by Huang Zhong, Zhou Yu and Sun Shangxiang was only 17,000, there were still some non-combat troops that arrived later. Lu Ren has always been very good at stabbing soft knives, and these non-combat troops are here to stab soft knives.

In fact, to put it bluntly, it is nothing more than to come to rectify the people of agriculture and commerce, and guide the local people on how to better farm and do business. You have to admit that the technology that Lu Ren had at hand was absolutely world-class at that time.

In addition to these, the most important one is to educate the people of Ceylon culturally...... In fact, it is already a matter of starting with the cultural system.

On this article, you can think about Egypt, how brilliant was the civilization of ancient Egypt? However, Egypt in modern society does not even have the native language of its own civilization. When the Greek civilization conquered Egypt, the official language of Egypt became Greek; When the Romans passed, it became Latin again; And then when the Arabs passed, it became Arabic. Later, if archaeologists wanted to understand the history of ancient Egypt, they had to refer to the Rosetta Stone, which was actually the sadness of the ancient civilization of Egypt.

This is a bit far, anyway, whether you take the route of conquest or not, if you want to expand your influence, you have to spread out your cultural system here, and Lu Ren has always been doing this. In fact, during the invasion of China, the island countries wanted to do this to China, but the cultural system of our Chinese civilization is deep-rooted, how can this little trick of the island countries be moved?

Pull it away again, pull it back. In the Ceylon region of that era, it was really very convenient for Lu Ren to engage in cultural education. The upper-class people in Ceylon were frightened by Lu Ren, so they deliberately moved closer to Lu Ren's side, so as not to make Lu Ren unhappy and make their upper-class status unsafe, so learning Sinology became what they had to do now, and after comprehending the breadth and profundity of Sinology, they were somewhat proud of it;

It's even better for the civilian side of the middle and lower classes. Under the conditions of that era, not many middle-class civilians could afford to read, let alone the lower-class civilians or even the slave class. Now there are free books for them to read, and even if they read them well, there is a chance to get rid of the lower castes...... I'm sorry, but some things don't change so quickly, so the civilians here in Ceylon will still have some thoughts about this. But no matter what, what Lu Ren came out of finally gave them hope.

To put it mildly, they don't recognize a few of the characters in their original Asan-language family, so it makes no difference whether the characters they know are Asanzi or square, and the most important thing is to be useful. And this thing may be like when they accepted the people sent by Ashoka of the Mauryan Empire, what meets their needs, they will accept it all.

Therefore, Lu Ren's cultural invasion in Ceylon was very smooth. And once the language and writing system are rolled out, many things will be much easier to follow.

————————————————————

Lu Ren is like this in the Central Asian battlefield at present, he is not in a hurry, but focuses on steady and steady fighting. After the Battle of Yangon and the capture of Ceylon, Lu Ren basically did not make any big moves except for letting Ma Chao fight a little trouble at the Guishan side, and asking Huang Zhong and Zhou Yu to arrest some people to go to Ceylon to watch dramas. Of course, there are a lot of things at the political and diplomatic level, but Lu Ren is very insidiously leading the people on Guishan's side in the direction he wants.

Lu Ren didn't have any big movements here, but Cao Pi and Liu Bei's movements were a bit big. Didn't it mean that Liu Bei and Cao Pi got into action...... Oh, it can also be said that the liver is up, but not militarily, after all, the two sides have just completely driven the Western Regions Alliance out of the territory of the Han Dynasty, and it is a little unreasonable to turn their faces immediately.

Therefore, Liu Bei and Cao Pi's confrontation is a verbal battle at the political level, to put it bluntly, they are competing for their great merits in front of the world, boasting about how many enemies they have killed and how much land they have recaptured, and then the messy expressions are also sent to Emperor Liu Xie one after another.

To put it more bluntly, these two are now busy making political capital for themselves. Needless to say, Cao Pi and Liu Bei's ambitions, and in order to achieve the ambitions in their hearts, political capital must not be less, after all, the current emperor Liu Xie is not as Zen as in the original history, but now under some means of Lu Ren and Xun Yu, after the death of Lao Cao, the prestige of his emperor is still somewhat rising.

And Liu Bei and Cao Pi are both people who want to be emperors, but Emperor Liu Xie is still there, and if they want to be emperors, they still have some hurdles to pass. Therefore, the current Cao Pi and Liu Bei have to try to make themselves the "kings" first......
